Re: linesman dropped

Already a thread on it and in the wrong forum. But apart from that...

Twitter have suspended the account I was using to publicise the petition for this. I set up another and they suspended that one too.
Seems the opinion that this is an incorrect decision is not acceptable.
Without your help this petition will not be known or heard , shame really as it quickly gathered 5 pages of signatures and after today's press it would have gone huge.

this is just play FA madness, the official was obviously having a joke, to stand him down for that is just plain daft, maybe cause they had to overturn vinnys red card, maybe they made him a scapegoat, unfair imo

Fuck of you petty twats aka the FA.

One good thing is that the story isn't going away, and Arse get to look bigger twats every day.

We should all stand up and clap on 62 minutes, singing "One John Brooks...."

Seems it is open again ?

The lad is from Leistershire for those wondering where he is from so probably not blue, just a general footy fan himself most likely.

Ha ha, good idea

He highlighted the fact that we had protested about paying £62 for the ticket. They are supposed to be impartial but he aired an opinion for all the world to see. Whether it was mailicious or not is irrelevent, it could be construed that he was a spokesman for the officials, the FA and the Premier League.

good thing he didn,t highlight the fact that city charge away fans up to £57...

imagine if he,d been caught at the end of the recent derby telling wio to get over and clap the fans paying £57.

its alright bringing arsenal under the spotlight, maybe we as city fans should look to our own club first.
